Aceris Law is honored to announce that its team has been recognized as Thought Leaders in the Autumn 2025 Mondaq Thought Leadership Awards. The awards celebrate the most widely read and influential legal articles published across multiple jurisdictions and practice areas.
This recognition reflects Aceris Law’s long-standing commitment to sharing insightful, practical knowledge about international arbitration, helping clients and practitioners alike better understand the complexities of this global dispute resolution mechanism.

Promoting Transparency in a Once-Secretive Field
Since 2012, William Kirtley, the founder of Aceris Law, has been a vocal advocate for greater transparency in international arbitration, a field that was historically characterized by confidentiality and limited public visibility. Through articles, lectures, and public commentary, Kirtley and the Aceris Law team have worked to demystify the arbitration process by providing accessible analysis on procedural developments, arbitral jurisprudence, and emerging trends.
Aceris Law’s publications aim to make arbitration more understandable, open, and efficient. The firm believes that fostering informed dialogue ultimately strengthens the legitimacy and fairness of the arbitral process.
